Avid Triad aluminium wing buttons

Avid have introduced the new Triad series aluminium wing buttons for 1/10th and 1/8th scale applications. Weighing in at only 0.03 gram each, which is half the weight of Avid’s current 1/10th wing buttons, they offer silver highlights and laser-etched Avid logos. The aluminium buttons make for a more sturdy wing mounting without adding unnecessary weight and they are available in black, blue, red, green, pink, orange, hard anodise, and a new purple colour. The buttons are designed for use with an M3 flat head screw and they are usable with off-road and on-road vehicles alike.

Tamiya VW Golf Mk.1 Group 2 re-release

Tamiya VW Golf Mk.1 Group 2 rerelease

Tamiya have issued a re-release of the 2013 Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 Racing Group 2 M-chassis kit. Based off of the front-driven M-05 chassis the car features a monocoque frame chassis, 3-bevel gear differential, front and rear friction dampers and last but not least a 1970’s VW Golf polycarbonate bodyshell as well as grippy slick tyres with foam inserts. Back in 2013 the Golf was already some sort of a re-release although the original Tamiya Golf Racing Group 2 was a pan car and the two basically only shared the wide fender bodyshell.

Serpent F110 SF2.W 200mm formula car kit

Serpent’s successful F110 SF2 1/10th scale formula car kit is now also available in a 200m wide foam tyre version. The main differences between the narrow rubber tyre version and the foam tyre variant are the wider lower front suspension plate, the longer upper trackrods and the longer steeringrods. The parts make for a total car width of 200mm, a specification that is used in many Asian racing series. Aside from the front suspension the remainder of the car is left unchanged from the rubber-spec SF2. Included with the SF2.W comes a genuine Protoform F1-15 bodyshell, Serpent’s moulded rear diffusor and a set of ETS-legal front and rear wings. The inclusion of the body and rear diffusor is also a running change to the standard SF2 kits from now on, Serpent announced.
